No more switching off the Mode-C when busting altitude either. (I've only heard of this happening.)

A little dismay was expressed. Pilots are waiting.
You'll also need ADSB to fly within 30nm of a big Class B airport, even outside of Class A, B, or C. Same as the transponder requirement. Here's the list of the 30-mile veil Class B airports.flyboy122 wrote:You only need it if you fly in Class C or higher.
I dislike Garmin products. The best thing that could happen to Garmin is competition. I don't see much competition for them in the future. That is truly sad.c170b53 wrote:Sounds like neither one of you twos will be Garmin-ing up tomorrow!
Which is EXACTLY the way Airlines, Business Aviation, and Gov't WANT. I wish I/We were brave enough to violate the rules en masse to disable their idea within/below Mode-C veils and up to Continental floor space.Bruce Fenstermacher wrote:My airplane is based just outside the Philly 30 mile ring. About 15 from the Allentown Class C.
I'm still not buying ADS-B out till it's less than $500. I will only fly where I can if I fly at all.
I’ve evolved with aviation in the last 36 years and have seen advances that improve safety. I agree that ADSB is one that can improve our safety. I will be doing a lot of my flying with my family in the crowded North East corridor and I’ll take all the help I can get. BTW I use flight following as much as possible as well.Marathonrunner wrote:
I flew with some guys this year in aircraft equipped with ADS-B and could not believe the number of aircraft we saw on the screen. I also could not believe the number we saw that either did not have transponders or had them off.
Bottom line is we need to make things safer. This does come with a cost that manny cannot or are not willing to absorb but in the long run is good for everyone flying.
